Welcome to use Around View Monitoring System, hereafter referred as AVM. The operating
instruction manual explains the required items for proper use of AVM, please read it carefully. Note that
the sketches shown in the instruction are illustrative only and please refer to full-scale production for
actual use
1. Safety Protection
In order to insure the safety use of the product, please be careful to read the following required
items:
1. This product is driving auxiliary equipment only and therefore can not replace the actual
observation of eyes. It may result in serious traffic accident if over depending on the system.
2. The camera viewing angle is relatively large, therefore, this product cannot fully display actual
conditions, please be careful to use it before you are familiar with.
3. Don’t operate this system when driving at high speed in order to avoid accidents due to distraction.
4. Don’t place the product in humid conditions in order to avoid short circuit raised by electric shock
and fire.
5. Please apply the system under operating voltage.
6. The output voltage of the host is 3.3V, only serve for the camera. Please don’t load any
undesignated or allowed equipments.
2. Product description
AVM collects images around automobiles, after series of intelligent algorithm processing, the
panorama overhead view of a vehicle is shown on the screen, which displays relevant locations and
around conditions directly. The system, to a great extend, expands drivers’ environment perceptions, so
they can deal with parking and narrow road entrances, and barriers easily with decreased traffic
accidents such as scraping cars.
3. Product composition
AVM contains an image processing unit and four ultra-wide cameras, as shown in figure 3.1. Usually,
the left and right camera are installed in left and right rearview mirror, the front and back camera are
installed above the front and back bumpers. According to various types of vehicles, the appearance and
installation spot are different as well.

6. Installation and Debug Instructions
6.1 Installation Instructions
1. Don’t connect connectors suddenly. Make clear the interface flags firstly, hen insert to the end after
interfaces aligning
2. Its not recommended to pull the wire with great strength. In order to avoid breaking the wire, please
send wire with one hand and receive it with the other hand.
6.1.1 Wiring diagram
Fig 6.1 wiring diagram
Blue: connect to the reverse detection of navigation device
BM Connector: connect all to camera
Red: connect to power wire of the vehicle
Pink: connect to ACC wire of the vehicle
Black: connect to the ground wire of the vehicle
Brown: connect to the reverse wire of the vehicle
6.1.2 Determination of the host position
First, confirm where to place the control box. Please keep away from the place where
water inflows or splashes and where is high temperature and humidity when you choose
place to install the equipment. For daily use, pay special attention to make sure the
equipment is not splashed when the car is washing or air-condition is open

6.1.3 Camera wiring model
1. Front Camera wiring
The camera should be located in the front hit net. Make sure camera wiring keeps pace
with original vehicle circuit to avoid high temperature part in engine (figure4.1), then goes
into the cockpit following original car wire harness. (figure4.2) finally connects to the host.
Fig6.2 Front camera wiring mode
2. Back Camera wiring
It’s suggested to run the wire following the reverse signal wire of the vehicle or on any place which
does not affecting vehicle’s normal use. (figure4.3). wire should then go into the cockpit (figure4.4) and
finally connect to the host.
Fig6.4 Back camera wiring mode
3. Right left camera wiring
Aware not to affect the functionality of the door glass, and make sure that the camera wire would not be
cut by the up and down-going of the glass. First run the wire following the wire harness of the vehicle
(figure 4.5.), then pull it into the cockpit (figure4.6). Finally connect it to the host.

6.2 Debug Instructions
6.2.1 Debugging preparation
Please park the vehicle to a flat area and leave enough space around it (generally, about 2m space),
meanwhile, debugging suit of sharpvision is needed which contains: 1、tape measure 2、professional
debugging cloth(fig 6.8) 3、remote control .

6.2.2 Debugging tool arrangement
Users can use laser or tape measure to help draw the rectangle better. Other tools such as the
cotton thread and long wood scraps can be the alternative. (Any tools which are helpful to draw straight
line or rectangle are fine). Users can get a better understanding on the debugging process through this
document. We believe every smart client can finish debugging process of this product even using
defoliation or deadwood.
Laser
The function of cross laser is sending out two straight lines perpendicular to each other, which can be
used to draw a rectangle. Pay attention to these aspects to draw the rectangle: 1、ensure that the
rectangle is around the vehicle; 2、rectangle should be as close as possible to the vehicle; 3、ensure that
shooting distance of camera can reach the area of rectangle, in general, the distance from front bumper
to rectangular line is 25cm, the one from back bumper is 10cm, and 5cm for right and left sides. Please
make concrete decision for specific vehicle.
Rendering of laser arrangement can be found in figure 6.9:
Fig 6.9 Laser rectangle schematic
Measure the distance between A, B, C and D to determine whether laser is aligned. In general, if
laser is chose to measure the rectangle, the distance of AB(or AC) should be near to the one of CD(or BD)
with allowed tolerance less than 1cm, this value should not exceed 2cm otherwise the effect of this
product would be affected.
Use four tape measures to draw a rectangle. Pay attention to these aspects to draw the rectangle: 1、
ensure that the rectangle is around the vehicle; 2、rectangle should be as close as possible to the vehicle;
3、ensure that shooting distance of camera can reach the area of rectangle, in general, the distance from
front bumper to rectangular line is 25cm, the one from back bumper is 10cm, and
5cm for right and left
sides. Please make concrete decision for specific vehicle.
Effect of tape measure arrangement can be shown in figure 6.10

Note:
1) Rendering of tape measure arrangement shown in the figure below:
2) Datum mark is left front and right rear, tape measure needs to be arranged as the following figure.
6.2.3 Spreading
It’s time to spread after finishing arranging laser. Here introduce how to spread:
Front: the long edge of cloth aligns with AB and the lower left quarter of cloth coincides with point A
Back: the long edge of cloth aligns with CD and top right corner of cloth coincides with point D;
Left: the long edge of cloth aligns with AC and the lower right quarter of cloth coincides with point E;
Right: the long edge of cloth aligns with BD and top left corner of cloth coincides with point D;
E is a point on AC, and the distance from E to A is 1.5m, that is AE=1.5; F is a point on BD, and the
distance from F to B is 1.5m, BF=1.5m. Spreading rendering can be found in figure 6.11 below:

6.2.4 Debugging
You can use remote control provided by debugging suite to debug after spreading. The view is
displayed on the vehicle display screen. Please aim at infrared receiver of main wiring harness when
operating the remote control, so that the signal can be received quickly.
At first, ensure that whether the cloth of front side and rear side can be totally seen by a single view
of the right display screen. Spreading renderings are shown as following figure 6.12 and figure 6.13.
Once finished, please start to debug.

information. And the default widthes of left and right grids are 150cm.
Then select “stitching” and press OK to confirm. “Processing” will be displayed on the screen and the
system can complete the splice within 30 seconds. Finally, the user interface will exit from engineering
mode and displays the real picture, as shown below:
